One of my favorite things about the PGA Merchandise Show in Florida is the chance to sit down and talk with industry luminaries.

Dave Pelz is one of our favorites. He's forgotten more about the short game than most of us can remember!

And best of all, Pelz is a true teacher. He's willing to impart his knowledge of the short game to anyone willing to sit down with him. We talked to him about his philosophy on the short game, how he got his start, and how he's helped players like Ian Baker Finch win majors. Pelz is also a fan of Srixon Cleveland Golf -- not just their wedges but their balls featuring "Spin Skin" as well.

Oh, and he also told us about his own private short game area, which had The Wall Street Journal name his the best backyard in the game.

I hope you enjoy watching this video as much as I enjoyed my conversation with Dave Pelz.
